Instead of a Roku Stick, you could use the Google TV Streamer or Apple TV 4K…………Amazon’s Fire devices are also an option, but I figure anyone with moral qualms against Fox may have similar issues with anything tied to Jeff Bezos.

I got a kick out of the article recommending Google and Apple like they’re the ethical option against Amazon here. Any sane person with moral qualms against Bezos will have plenty about Google and Apple too, so let’s not pretend that any of them are anything less than evil.

As of right now I’ve used 1.97TB, but I’m usually closer to 1.5TB

So I ask, when you are hosting something that is entirely dependent on a commercial entity to function, is Plex really selfhosting in the spirit of this community?

I understand where you’re coming from but, to me, self hosting is an ethos, not a checklist. If self hosting has to be void of a commercial entity then my services at home that are available externally aren’t self hosted since I have to rely on my ISP for that to work. And all of the electricity for my servers comes from a commercial company so those aren’t self hosted. And using a public domain isn’t self hosting.

I’m not switching at this time because I already bought a lifetime pass about 7 years ago. If ANY of my functionality gets changed by Plex then I’ll be switching

I don’t allow registration but I can manually create accounts. My server is just for me and a few others so this is perfectly fine for me

Surely this would be nearly impossible for visually impaired people, which makes me question the ability for governments to implement this on their websites.

I know about screen reader software for visual impairment, but to expect a blind person use a separate device with a camera to take a “photo” of a QR code on another screen is beyond comprehension. Well, at least it would be in the normal timeline.

I guess I’ll have to switch to a dumb phone out of spite now.

Your work is appreciated, cheers!

Hey Daniel, thanks for making this and 4.0 has been a great update! I’ve been using this with owntracks since I saw it posted here a few months back and it’s been great.

There is one thing that I was wondering about - do you have any plans to be able to smooth out wonky data that gets imported? In my case it’s from google takeout. I recently imported my location data from my old google takout backup and location data is all over the place. For example, here is my 2017 trip from the US to Japan and back. I totally understand that this is a problem with the data though

It’s just a hobby so i know I have room for improvement, but the bigger my environment gets the more difficult it is to keep everything completely up to date, like you said. Given that, my main priorities are:

• have as few internet facing services as possible
• use a reverse proxy
• separate external and internal servers with a dmz
• use fail2ban or crowsec on servers that have ports forwarded
• firewall geoblocking
• BACKUPS, local and remote

Now that being said, I’ve started to use ansible playbooks for deploying OS updates. I have a playbook that uses default options when doing an apt upgrade and it also works for the docker engine user prompt.

About 75% of my services are native installs in LXCs and I try to always install by including the app repo so that apt can update it and the other 25% are in docker. I used to use watchtower but that’s no longer maintained, so I do container updates manually as needed.

It’s not perfect, but it’s just for fun so 🤷

My first reaction is: lmao fuck Krafton

My second reaction is: you absolute fucking idiot, what did you expect when you sold to a mega corpo??

Anything to distract us from the Epstein files
